MY Jimny 2015 :) was created by gferen
Hello all,

just became the owner of white Jimny 2015 - i believe basic trim. 88K km on dash with some rust marks.

I already noticed that remote doesn't unlock and lock doors, but operating with key in the door works. Passenger door not so enthusiastic to lock, but can be locked from inside manualy.
Radio antenna needs to be replaced and all oils.

Cheer for now :D

Welcome to the forum. Nice pic.
Try a new battery in your fob, might need replacing. Ive gone through 3 on my 2013 from new.
Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it

As i decided all oils will be changed and spark plugs.

Any specifics to watch for?
What spark plugs are recommended ?
Oil - should I go for original Suzuki or would be for example Castrol ok?

Welcome and congrats :)

If it's not lots/to costly, get the rust treated. Saves in the long run. Does the remote battery have power?

Most of that can be dealt with easily, to prevent it getting worse. That rust on the back door, could be a little trickier, but you should take care of it asap, so it doesn't get worse.

Best spark plugs are ngk iridium, not cheap and watch out for knockoff ones. Oil is ok to use a reputable brand all the grades and quantities are in the wiki at the top of the page.

Welcome to the forum.


What do you mean knockoffs? as sellers could ask more then its normal or?

first 10 KM done in the very vet and snows conditions. Feels good.
Battery replacement fixed doors unlocking problem. Also passenger door seems to be operating better.

First 1 EUR was a good spend. :)

Knockoff as in fake ones. Usually genuine ones are around 20 pounds each but I have seen fake ones for as little as 40 pounds for 4 which is just too good to be true.

Knockoff = Fake, copied, non-genuine.
Just buy things like that from a reputable source, and Im sure you will be ok B)

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
